North Korean ambassador Condemns UN Sanctions Resolutions

The U.S. and its vassal forces passed the harshest " sanctions resolutions" on the DPRK through the United Nations Security Council on Septemer 12 and August 6, condemning its ICBM mountable H-bomb test and test-launch of ICBMs as "a threat" to international peace and security.

The "resolutions 2371 and 2375" against the DPRK, which the U.S. fabricated by employing all sorts of despicable and vicious means and methods, are aimed at depriving the DPRK of its legal right for self-defence and completely suffocating its state and people through full-scale economic blockade.

I condemn them in the strongest terms and categorically rejects them.

The DPRK's access to the strongest nuclear force is a fair and legitimate measure for self-defense to protect its sovereignty and the nation's right to existence from the high-handed and arbitrary acts of the U.S. which has made it its business to pursue the policy of extreme hostility and pose nuclear threat to the DPRK well over half a century.

Especially, the perfect success in the test of the H-bomb for ICBM marked a very significant occasion in attaining the final goal of completing the state nuclear force for self-defense.

However, the U.S. went more desperate instead of accepting the DPRK's existence and learning to coexist with the latter, driving the situation of the Korean peninsula to the brink of nuclear war and manipulating UNSC to adopt the "sanctions resolutions" , thereby disclosing before the whole world its evil intention to obliterate the ideology and system of the DPRK and exterminate its people.

The adoption of illegal and evil "resolutions on sanctions" serves as an occasion for the DPRK to verify that the road it chose was absolutely right and to harden its resolve to follow this road at a faster pace without the slightest diversion until this fight to the finish is over.

Since the scheme of the U.S. to impede the DPRK's development, disarm it through the unprecedented sanctions and pressure, and conquer it with the help of nuclear weapons has become clearly evident, the DPRK will redouble the efforts to increase its strength to safeguard the country's sovereignty and right to existence and to preserve peace and security of the region by establishing the practical equilibrium with the U.S.

And as long as the U.S. hostile policy and nuclear threat continue, the DPRK, no matter who may say what, will never place its self-defensive nuclear deterrence on the negotiation table or flinch an inch from the road chosen by itself, the road of bolstering up the state nuclear force.

If the U.S. fails to act with discretion, persisting in its reckless attempts to stifle the DPRK, we will not waver or hesitate to use any form of ultimate means.
